   Summary: Very natural looking- recommended
I prefer these soft white bulbs over the similar cool white versions. They look very natural, and don't look flourescent at all.

The only downside I see so far is they don't work with light dimmers.

   Summary: small and bright
Great, fits into standard light sockets because its so small unlike the bigger 20W ones. Is about as bright as a 40W or 60W standard bulb. Waiting to see if it has any effect on the electricity bill.

   Summary: Don't be afraid to try flourescents!
I really dragged my feet about switching to these compact fluorescent bulbs, even though I knew they were an excellent choice for my budget and my striving to have a "greener" home. Having spent most of my young working life in fluorescent light, I couldn't stomach the idea of having that ghastly flickering & unnatural lighting in my own home!

But we keep several very-low-wattage lamps on in our house 24/7, and I was bothered by how often I had to replace the incandescent bulbs. Since the shades on those lamps are already slightly tinted, I figured I'd replace just those bulbs that we keep on all the time with the compact fluorescent bulbs, keeping incandescent in the lamps and ceiling fixtures that get turned off when we leave a room.

I was really surprised at the quality of the light put off by these bulbs from Amazon. It is not noticably different from the old bulbs. While I'll keep my "daylight" incandescents at the bathroom mirror and in my reading/crafting lamp (where color really counts!), I am now replacing all our other bulbs with compact fluorescent.

The only thing I'd like better would be for them to fit in all my fixtures. The regular compact bulbs fit only about half my fixtures, so I had to get the ULTRA-MINI for the rest. Unfortunately, the higher wattage are hard to find in ULTRA-MINI, so I have to keep incandescents in a few rooms where 60W-equivalent is simply too dim, but my fixture globe cannot accommodate the larger bulbs.

   Summary: Ultra-mini: size to use w/ small or medium harp (perfect for stained/underpainted glass or bedside lamps)
ULTRA-MINI is the perfect size for most table & floor lamps including those with a small harp such as bedside swing-arm wall lamps. Much smaller than most Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulbs. Works well w/ shallow Stained Glass (table) lamp shades & scounces. Has standard twisty base like Joe Average incandescent bulbs.

The 'soft white' is somewhat yellow but not obnoxiously so. Though specified as a "60 watt equivalent", I think it's on the bright side (closer to to a 75 watt than 40 watt).

The bulbs do take a minute or so to fire up to full brightness but like the reviewer for another bulb, I've learned to rather like that! I have *not* noticed a "hum" as remarked in reveiws of *other* fluorescents.

Of the 3 "four packs" (e.g. 12 bulbs) I have ordered (me & relatives), I have had one bad bulb. I am ordering more: great gift as they fit nearly all lamps & throw a lot of light!

Highly, strongly & 100% recommend

   Summary: what a bargain
These bulbs are, of course, energy efficient and will save me money in the long run. At this price, you can't lose.
